HC Deb 12 March 1969 vol 779 c297W
85. Mr. Mapp

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has now completed consideration of the Report of the Monopolies Commission on Man-made Cellulosic Fibres of March, 1968; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dell

As my right hon. Friend told the House on 12th February, we do not intend to take major policy decisions about the textile industry, including decisions on the Monopolies Commission's report on the supply of cellulosic fibres, until we have completed a thorough examination of the industry's structure in the light of the Textile Council's Productivity and Efficiency Study.—[Vol. 777, c. 1312–15.]
